The history of Touring is described in this new book by
Giovanni Bianchi Anderloni, grandson of the founder using the Bianchi Anderloni
family archives and with the support of the national archives, as well as
vintage magazines.

For all lovers of vintage cars, Carrozzeria Touring is
synonymous with elegance, sophistication and aerodynamic efficiency. The
Superleggera Berlinetta, the Barchetta Ferrari, and the Disco Volante are just
three examples that represent the achievements of the famous Milanese designer
who was born in 1926. Other cars featured in the book are the Alfa Romeos
- the 6C 1750 Flying Star, the 6C 2300 Mille Miglia, the 8C 2300 and 2900, the
Sprint 1900 and 2000, and the 2600 Spider, the 3500 GT Maserati, the first
Lamborghinis (350 GT and 400 GT), the Lancias, including the Lambda Flaminia,
and many other major brands (Isotta Fraschini, Fiat, Bianchi, Ansaldo, OM,
Mercedes). These are cars that have all won both in concours d'élégance and on
the track. Also covered is the period of Carlo Felice Anderloni who led
the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile.

The story is told in a captivating way through many beautiful period black and white pictures. They are not only of the finished cars but also of the models, the drawings and of the cars being assembled. This gives a feel of how the cars came to be. Touring made the most beautiful cars for a few decades. It is also interesting to see that the Touring proposal for what became the Miura was not that far off the final end result...
